Hey y'all,
I made an ask that I have been thinking about for a while. The audience is the reason for the show, so I'll put the show where the audience is. However... you all have a choice on HOW you watch and where.
I'm going to present some info, and probably share more than anyone I have ever heard share. We are gonna do a behind the scenes look at the data/financials of ad-rev sharing on Rumble and YT. If you have never seen something like this, it might make some sense.
The Full video with 49 mins of gear reviews/drills/good/bad/ugly shared is for our paid subscribers. But here is a little taste of what I'm working on for our Locals community. I encourage y'all to post your favorite drills here as well. I'll definitely always be open to trying.
I promised I'd do a Livestream update, and I will. BUT... here is the quick visual overview.
1) Views and watch hours up over 50% on the YT channel.
2) That moved revenue up 300%
3) ALL of the top 10 videos on the entire channel were streamed in the past 2 months. ALL in April or May/June 1, and 8 of the 10 were within 30 days.
4) The Second most viewed view in the history of the YT channel was this recent Friendly Friday.
5) The subscriber base on YT is now 30% of the base on Rumble, and gets more engaged likes per view than Rumble...
More to follow. Happy Monday Morning.
9mm reload testing.
I started this because it felt like the groups I was getting were all over the place (pic 1). Now I'm not a perfect shot but I can tell when something is too off. I shot four ten shot groups of 9mm reloads with four different powder charges from a rest into four 1" pasters. It's obvious to me that the lower right group with the 4.4 grain (gr) charge of 231 powder are the best. I'll make up more of them for plinking instead of my previous load of 4.2gr (upper left) that is all over the place.
Details: (pic 2) mixed headstamp 9mm brass, CCI #400 small pistol primers, 125gr 9mm cast lead bullets with Hitech coating.
